Time to Rethink This

I have been thinking about this for a while. I've come to the conclusion that it is time to totally rethink the way we do residential treatment--or all treatment for that matter.

We tend to have a one size fits all approach, which caters to the majority of clients but poorly serves clients in the minority.

I'm talking specifically about tailoring treatment to the client's temperament. I have studied temperament for the past several years since I took the Myers-Briggs in a college course. Being a very rare temperament--INFP--I have always felt like a fish out of water. Only about 1% of people share this combination of tendencies. There are many variations even within these classifications.

However, to start with, I would like to begin with the difference between introverted and extroverted clients. Since 75% of the population are dominantly extroverted, treatment seems to be taylored to them. This is a poor fit for introverted clients. I will explain further when I actually begin posting sections.

I am no expert on the subject of temperament, but I WILL be. Through my research and through coming up with my ideas, I will develop the knowledge to position myself as an expert on the subject.

This project is not even in its infancy yet. Let's just say it's at the 9th month of pregnancy. The ideas are swirling around in this genius head of mine. Once I start writing, my ideas always seem to gel almost effortlessly (a typical introvert trait I might add). So keep checking back here as I add to and develop this idea.
